Nestlé Waters Reviews

Pros

Good people to work with, good carrer oportunities

Cons

Bad Salaries, poor prirization, too much stress

Advice to Senior Management

Improve priorization

Pros

Pay and benefits very fair. Good exposure to senior management. Good exposure to other parts of Nestle as needed. The company has a real commitment to quality and getting the message out on recycling efforts. Good community member.

Cons

Like all places there are good and bad managers. Some divisions / functions are more aggressive than others in expectations and working hours. Research new managers before accepting assignments.

Pros

Exposure is very good mainly because there are fewer people and leaner structures so you can do things which in other places may not be possible at your level.

Cons

Risk taking is very low. Many mediocre people in the organization who are pulling the company performance down or not letting the company reach its full potential.

Advice to Senior Management

Identify high performers from mediocres. cultivate a culture of high performance and do not tolerate 'slack'

Pros

Good name on CV, if you are lucky you can get great international exposure

Cons

Be prepared to wait years before getting a key position. The 'number of years' of experience is the top most criteria for career progression.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on talent and abilities, not on decades of loyalty

Pros

Nestle has great pay scales compared with surrounding businesses, and there is plenty of overtime -- if that's what you're looking for.

Cons

Lots of forced overtime -- sometimes with little advance notice -- can really put a damper on vacation and other planned activities if not done formally through management using limited personal time. It is very difficult to move up the ladder to management, though it does happen if you can stand the place for long enough. Overall, a frustrating work environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Senior Management needs to be more professional and explanatory to other employees. Disappointing how some situations were handled.

Pros

It is an easy going working atmosphere and the people who work there tend to be good people.The atmosphere you work inis not too bad. The office can be quite fun or certain days when moral is high. Also the bonus scheme makes it possible to enhance your salary.

Cons

The organisation is poorly run with constant problems which continually arise. When things go badly the whole office feels it and moral can be low due to constant mistakes and missed deliverys.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees about why the same problems continually arise.
